SAN DEIGO, CA –Steve Fisher was at home Thursday and he happened to have the TV on. And noticed his name on the screen.

“I started looking and thought: ‘What is that?’” Fisher said. “I didn’t even know what they were talking about.”

What they were talking about: Fisher is among the first-time eligible coaches on the 2018 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame ballot. Finalists will be announced at the NBA All-Star Game in February, and the 2018 inductees will be unveiled two months later at the NCAA Final Four in San Antonio.
